is this real? I'm shocked. on the otherhand, if this is real I'm quite disappointed that it's not zoom or maxzoom. other than that, I'm still ok with it but not as glad as I was. I tried the earlier PGs which have almost the same cushion setup but was fine with it and somehow liked it. the only concern I have with this shoe now is the dreaded Air Squeak.

If it's regular air and not zoom, I'm out.
1. $200 for just air cushioning is too expensive.
B. I need more cushioning after recently having knee and joint issues. Just went to the doctor's recently and he claims I'm "obese" and need to lose nearly 200 lbs

Definitely hope those are reps. The way the foam is cut out makes me think maybe they are. That’s a good way to give the shoe a softer feel without adding any actual cushioning tech.

I would agree, those kinds of cut outs are primarily done on reps to improve the cushioning of the shoe. on the otherhand, having an air cushion on it ain't that bad for a rep but would be suspect on the overall material quality of the shoe and performance.

that is why I would like a firsthand look and try of the shoe before deciding on getting them.

Jordan Brand Officially Reveals The Air Jordan 38
In concert with the sponsored Quai 54 tournament in Paris, Jordan Brand has officially unveiled the 38th iteration of the Air Jordan series. The Beaverton brand’s team of designers has built the silhouette from the ground up based on Michael Jordan’s iconic turnaround fadeaway, imbuing the 38...
Underfoot, the unique cushioning system removes its past use of Formula23 Foam in favor of a full-length Zoom Strobel and Cushlon 3.0 wedge pairing.

I had to head into my local dsg today and I looked at the basketballs, talked to a few of the workers, and checked out everything they had, including the Ja 1s, One Takes, Why Nots, Lukas and they even had those Moolah joints.
Why did I get half way home before I realized I should have asked if they were going to get these joints in store or if they already had them in the back
I know DSG is gonna instantly sell out in my size tomorrow or glitch. SNKRS can keep the 12s all day if I can get my hands on these 38s. And as fast as DSG ships I might be able to play in them by early next week at my gym.

they just had the same tear down of the KD16 with the same tag. probably legit? who knows.
but even still.. that tech doesn't sound THAT great. full strobe like KD15 but with a Cushlon 3.0 wedge pairing? So why was I lead ot believe FORMULA 23 was the next great thing? they obviously tweaked it for the Luka 2

“What have the wnba players done to replace the Jumpman? At what level have they done what MJ has done?”
I’ll respond with a question in kind. Why do they have to do anything at the level MJ has, if MJ and Jordan brand WANT to collaborate with them?
The brand/MJ clearly want to collaborate and promote with their league, hence why the Jumpman is appearing on their All Star unis (first time the jumpman has appeared on any WNBA unis) this season.

What are you talking about? Air Jordans have used Nike tech from day ONE.
Jordans always have been, and always will be Nikes.

Totally agree with this.
It seems like they are going backwards after the success of the 36. Formula 23 that bottoms out in the 37. Like someone above said cushlon 1.0, 2.0 bottoms out slower and now even more slower with 3.0. Smh.
Them improving on the double stack in the forefoot plus full length strobel would have been the move.

That was me who also mentioned the cushlon 3.0, so yes you agree with me on all the points and im bringing to the forefront the elephant in the room. Worth calling out jordan brand on this. And Nike.
And here I am with 3 pairs of 36’s. And a pair of Tatum 1’s. Been defending Jordan brand’s tech advancements. But just weird the “3.0” cushlon comment when the last model rollout (plus luka) told us how great formula 23 is

Air would actually be more comfy IMO but I can't get w a frontier sig forgoing zoom. Full length strobel sounds good and those KD's were crazy comfy with it +foam.

Page is up on DSG and only goes from 5-12....so I have to assume that's women's sizing and won't be extended sizes at least on their site smh.
